Civic TN is a state-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit civic engagement “table” that is working towards a future where underrepresented communities have a greater voice and influence in shaping state policy and choosing leaders who affect their lives. CivicTN is part of the national State Voices network.
Civic TN serves as a hub where partners work together, particularly to leverage research, policy, organizing, civic engagement, and elections to achieve larger gains than any one group could on its own.
Civic TN partners and staff share a vision for a just, equitable, and prosperous society that treats every single one of us with dignity and fairness; in which government reflects the race, class, and gender diversity of our communities and is a vehicle for addressing those challenges that need to be resolved collectively, and; in which vulnerable communities are able to exercise all of their human rights without fear, discrimination, or retaliation.
